#FleishmanIsInTrouble is a poignant piece of art that shines a light on the unspoken impacts of medical (birth) trauma - Emphasizing just how disenfranchised medical trauma is in our society, despite its prevalence. Erin Qualey nails it in this article ⬇️

Medical #PTSD is far and away the most common form of PTSD that no one talks about. Few patients who have it know it and few doctors recognize it. And it impacts millions of people. #LongCovid CIBS Center #Trauma WesElyMD

A couple of years ago, we wrote a paper about treating PTSD after ICU. A few months ago, I found myself in ICU for 8 days, having many of the same experiences my clients had described and thinking a lot about the model! I wrote about it in the latest CBT Today. BABCP ICUsteps
